Really impressed with the bounce back in these plants. Flipped them to flower on November 28th. My last run with this strain they didn’t stretch much, pretty sure I timed it well. I noticed some mold growing inside my advanced nutrients bottles, in the tarantula and bud igniter. Kind of weird if you ask me. I was going to switch nutes after this run anyways. My buddy gave me his jacks recipe and he’s been doing amazing things for like 15 cents per gallon mixed or something like that. The plan is to let them stretch then clean up everything below the screen. Where do the more experienced growing stand on this? My buddy trims everything up during stretch an says he has no issue. I’ve just never tried it myself and would assume it would cause stress an potential stunt the growth.
Nice clean and organized set up you have there. I wish you continued success. Good luck but I know ya won’t need it.
To your question at the end of this weeks comments...
I recommend no stripping or defol past day 21 of flower. I do day 1 and day 20 heavy defol. I clean up under my screen at the same time, but I’m careful not to go overboard and cause too much stress. I target older bigger fan leaves. I see immediate explosive growth from the other smaller fan leaves and before you know it my canopy is 2x as full as it was even though I just removed a ton of foliage a few days prior.
You’re already thinking this way about over stress which is excellent. Many growers have never been into defol and have great success - to each their own. It works for me under my quantum boards.
Good luck
